I find that the opposite problem is more common - the 30 minute rule of thumb, to me, is to make sure that people don't spend more time stuck than that.

In a lot of domains of life, people expect you to know the answers, and become peeved when you don't. Much of software engineering is research, where asking the right questions is the job itself.

I tell people I'm mentoring that the maximum time they are "allowed" to spend stuck is 2 hours. (Nobody is policing that, just for emphasis). Ask as soon as you feel like it, but if you haven't made progress in 2 hours, you gotta reach out or else it starts to spiral.

I think it takes courage and humility to ask questions, qualities in the world that are often in short supply. The more we can provide positive feedback for embodying those values, the more we can all live up to them.
JavaScript frameworks like Next and Nuxt are great at generating static markup. One thing slowing them down a bit, and giving AMP a larger share of attention, is that not enough people are browsing with JavaScript disabled. Disabling JavaScript on the browser doesn't mean JavaScript is out of the picture. =)
I made r/MaddieFans - wanted to see how long it keeps going. Trying to keep it wholesome. It IS pretty incredible that this thread is going after 12+ hours. I think initially a guy talked about his ex-girlfriend Maddie, that he missed her. Imagine there's a real Maddie out there who has no idea?
Let's say you've designed a new CPU, and it's really clever.

You will never be able to make it, end of.

If you speak about it in any context other than a patent Intel or some other large company will take your idea for free.

If you've designed a time machine, I sort of agree, but this principle is really stupid and goes against what the point of a patent is in the first place.

Ask the questions well and more senior dev isn't going to be nearly as annoyed and be way more willing to dive in and help. Show that at a minimum you understand why you are stuck.

"This doesn't work, help" is bad.

"This doesn't work because when X happens I get Y instead of Z which is what would have expected" is much better.

I love the Kinesis (I own two of them). I just wish they made the exact same keyboard but in a split model.

As an aside, if you buy a Kinesis, look at getting the “LF” version of the Advantage, it comes with Cherry MX Reds instead of the defaults and the difference is enormous.
I think you can just load it in a canvas so long as the image has the appropriate cross origin header [1]. So the entire attack would look like

1. On site A, make a request to eviltracker (e.g. load an image); eviltracker returns an image encoding some unique identifier. Maybe the image request contained some cookie data which the server includes as part of the image.

2. On site B, make another request to evil tracker with the same URL. Browser helpfully notices that the image has been cached, and so site B can access the information contained within that information. In such a manner, information has been transferred from site A to B. You could theoretically repeat this process again: make another non-caching request to eviltracker (maybe with some cookie set to the combined A+B info)

I would agree with you in the context of a government or public body. But in the context of private companies, these "tools" were always available. The wrong hands were always able to use them. And did, many times, in fact.

Like, the problems you're describing are real but they aren't new, and aren't particularly a bigger threat now than they were before.

I'm not prepared to have them 'fall into the wrong hands'.

But these platforms are owned by these companies.

What rules do we put in place that they have to host some of this content? Blatant misinformation, vague encouragement of violence... hate?

Is the price of free speech that someone has to host it? Who doesn't want to?

The First Amendment to the Constitution explicitly forbids "Congress" from "abridging the freedom of speech." It goes no further.

There's certainly a question of public policy here, but that result will be unlikely to turn on the First Amendment.
I think you are getting this wrong. The problem is not all the inexpert persons styling themselves as "independent journalists", the problem is all the inexpert persons who think they understand enough about the world's problems to cast a vote on who should legislate solutions for them. The electorate must be restricted to those who prove they can use the franchise wisely. /s

Okay, you probably are not opposed to democracy. But if not, why not? If the people are too stupid to choose to consume good journalism and ignore bad journalism, how can they be considered wise enough to elect good legislators instead of bad ones?

The US system of government is predicated on having a populace that is sufficiently intelligent, prudent, and moral that it will not give in to mob excess. If we the people no longer possess that sort of character, restricting the speech of said people will not be sufficient to solve the problem. A full dictatorship will be the only solution.

Your point about the character of the people is a good one. But if you jettison free speech, you have jettisoned the entirety of democratic government with it.

You seem to be asserting that the only options are “public square” (eligible for section 230 protection) or “publisher”.

It’s not clear to me that section 230 has anything to do with public squares, can you elaborate on your position? Why can’t they be neither a publisher nor a public square?

I’m by no means an expert on this bit of legislation; Wikipedia just says:

> No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.

Serious magic is just mind tricks, optical illusions, misdirection etc applied skillfully.

Part of the effect often comes from the story that the magician tells around them, planting a story and allowing it to take on a life of its own inside the spectators mind.

"The biggest mistake people do when trying to understand magic tricks is to underestimate how far a (professional) magician will go to cover up what they are really doing" or something to that effect is a quote I could note find a source for at the moment but that I think I might have heard in a Penn and Teller video or something.

I guess this is the same for the military.

(FWIW: Here's a 14 minutes talk where magician Jon Ensor about something similar: https://www.ted.com/talks/jon_ensor_who_needs_tricks_charism... )
I...beg your pardon?

What everyone's been talking about the past few weeks has absolutely nothing to do with shutting down dangerous websites, and any terrorist who leaves a trail of online posts that can be used to track them doesn't need anything special to be done to make that possible.

People have been talking about the major social media platforms—who are, arguably, already pretty high up there on the list of "the wrong hands"—deplatforming users actively supporting attacks—physical attacks, in some cases—on our government, our democracy, and our Constitution.

I mean, there is stuff to be genuinely concerned about in all of this as regards the future, and there's a real discussion to be had here, but frankly, I don't think this is it.
My God this is truly the best phrase. It works on so many levels...

"Free", but there's the associated cost of upkeep... a barn, it has to be washed, dried, groomed, fed, vaccinated, check-ups, exercised, and lastly, you have to deal with the horseshit... and best part of your expression, is it means you have to deal with both the literal and metaphorical horseshit. :)

How’s he doing on the cancer front so far?
>are you prepared to have these tools fall into the wrong hands?

Yes, because society has a plurality of institutions that constrain power. Restrictions (even speech restrictions themselves) are subject to the court of public opinion (we're talking about them right now), there's the judiciary, political opposition and so on.

This argument never had any pull for me for the same reason I'm against abolishing the police or abolishing surveillance or anything else. Power, even in the hands of people I don't like, can't be exercised arbitrarily.

What tools are these actually - the delete button?

When it comes down to it - i like moderated spaces on the internet. I dont want to wade through spam, not to mention violent and abusive content. I don't like seeing shock images.

So yes, i support having moderation. The question to me is not: yes/no moderation, its where you draw the line; what are your policies and how are they enforced.

Fundamentally i think the solution is competitors. This was a much easier position to take when the web did not just have a few social media giants with network effects, but still: if youtube becomes to dranicon, start a new website. The tools to stream video (albeit not at scale) are just an apt-get away.
It is true they were notorious. Sufficiently so for it to be the standing joke of their name in Private Eye. It is also true that probably, some of the time, it was in-crowd joking.

I have a deep antipathy to Murdoch press, having said that they used to have remarkably high editorial standards in the Australian flagship newspaper (called "The Australian") and when News Ltd went on a cost cutting drive, around the time of the collapse of their main competitor, Fairfax Ltd (caused by Warwick fairfax, who basically wrecked the empire: he now consults in the USA on .. how to be a successful entrepreneur!) It merged a huge amount of sub-editor functions into a JV with Fairfax, which subsequently basically failed in-place: They sacked the good staff, and kept an out-source agency which had no clue. The Oz, is now pretty U/S for basic grammar AND spelling.

They also routinely now do pun leads. This was funny for about half a second, ever. The Graun also does far too many pun leads. I think all newspapers wind up there.

A good fictional account of news headlines and the journalistic pressures of newspaper writing in happier days is in "leaven of malice" by Robertson Davies: a fictional Canadian newspaper, beset by a cruel trick played in "hatches, matches and dispatches" -"The Shipping News" has its moments too.

I'm not quite sure what your point is. Mine was that millions of people choose from a variety of treatment options and that there's no clear evidence that a pill is vastly preferred to an injection or even some more invasive delivery method. I think my link about birth control usage just shows that the more options, the better. Presumably we'll cover the at-risk population better if there are more good options.

I think this is a wonderful thing and that we should spread the word when these new treatments are available so that more people know they have options if they like the sound of occasional injections but don't like daily pills or vice versa.

As a de facto monopoly, it’s certainly the only one that matters right now. But if, say, the porn tubes wanted to wall off a non-NSFW side, they could become a serious competitor overnight. Or if Netflix or Amazon started allowing end-user content, for that matter.
> What rules do we put in place that they have to host some of this content? Blatant misinformation, vague encouragement of violence... hate?

Why do they have to be rules? Why can't we have a culture of tolerance? Robots aren't running these companies. They're people, just like you and me. They can choose to be tolerant.

Tolerance is about tolerating the most horrid things. Not because it's nice or those things have some value. They're horrid, they have no value. It's because the alternative is worse. Because censorship is worse. Because when a person is censored, when they can't speak, they resort to violence and through censorship, you encourage violence. And violence can't be censored. It can only be suppressed with further violence.
I’d love to have one, but I don’t need to have one. Hopefully when the next shiny hot card comes out, these will start to become available at reasonable cost, or production will ramp up.

As for fiber cuts, one case I'm aware of involved a large diameter concrete drill/hole saw with a diamond-tipped blade. Not much you can do to armor against that.
"culture of tolerance"

What does that mean exactly? By that you mean you require someone host, intolerance?

Is it a "culture of tolerance" if someone spews hate on me on a social media platform because of my race, because we're tolerating that?

I'm still trying to figure out what folks think this alternate choice looks like... do we require people to host whatever gets posted?

I agree. I wouldn't have a problem with YouTube doing anything if YouTube wasn't the video website. We need decentralization.

But at the same time more and more often I also see these same concerns raised with decentralized networks (going beyond standard practices like blocking and preventing federation with instances), and that gets me worried.

Do you remember when Hank Paulson said he had the utmost confidence in the stability and resiliency of our markets?

Right before a literally historic housing market crash occurred, that then became an enormous stock market crash.

How much more of an expert would you want than Hank Paulson, who added billions of value to Goldman Sachs bottom line, who he himself made $1bn working there, and who had been in the financial industry for 30+ years at the time, and who was the Secretary of the Treasury?

What kind of "expertise" should he have had in your perfect utopia?

I should remind you that Paulson was indeed vetted by regulators, other experts, and Congress, and was widely considered a great choice as SecTres.

We see how that worked out.

An autistic medical doctor predicted the housing market crash 3 years before Paulson made that statement, so as far as I can see, so much for your so-called experts. In fact, I think if you'll try less to defer to experts and more to defer to history, you'll find a very long list of people who were held in the highest esteem who continually got shit wrong, and very very few who got it right.

That is why I prefer these tools be used by private organizations to enforce their own private rules rather than being managed by government mandate. That ensures that enough social rules exist to maintain society but not rules which are so ingrained in law as to prevent progress or allow trivial total abuse.

I think you mean the reverse; equal temperament "just works" regardless of key and doesn't require configuration, whereas JI you have to specify a key, and there are many possible scales depending on which of infinitely many notes you want to include.

It's a tradeoff between convenience and optimally consonant harmonies. ET makes a lot of sense for guitar because you have fixed frets (though JI guitars do exist), but violin can be played in any intonation so there's less reason to use ET unless you're accompanying an ET instrument like piano or guitar.
Assuming this post is in earnest instead of accidentally omitting <sarc></sarc> tags:

Have you payed attention to mainstream journalism over the past couple decades? The material they cover and the framing with which they do so reflects an understanding not any better than the one you attribute to independent journalists, to say nothing of an expectation that the audience is even less capable of understanding. Have you never seen a mainstream news channel cover an event that you personally witnessed, and imply or outright state that the event happened differently than what you saw with your own eyes? Have you never witnessed someone interviewed, and then later seen the broadcast, edited interview, implying something else than what was originally stated for the editing done?

Who decides who the correct experts are? Who decides a person can responsibly use a platform?

Speech is speech. Think about the limits you want carefully. Especially if it starts with the thought that a particular ideological or ethnic group excercising speech should result in them "getting whats coming to them"

In this case, as the statement made clear - it's not speech that is the problem, it was that she choose to speak at all, that was the problem.
